67:27
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Consider this: whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”1
67:28
Say, “He is the Most Compassionate—in Him ˹alone˺ we believe, and in Him ˹alone˺ we trust. You will soon know who is clearly astray.”
67:29
Say, “Consider this: if your water were to sink ˹into the earth˺, then who ˹else˺ could bring you flowing water?”

68:3

68:4
Soon you and the pagans will see,
68:5
which of you is mad.
68:6

68:7

68:8

68:9
And do not obey the despicable, vain oath-taker,
68:10
slanderer, gossip-monger,
68:11
withholder of good, transgressor, evildoer,
68:12
brute, and—on top of all that—an illegitimate child.
68:13
Now, ˹simply˺ because he has been blessed with ˹abundant˺ wealth and children,
68:14
whenever Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!”
68:15
